Photography & Printmaking
A selection of images… capturing pollinators and the flowers in bloom this year. A time to pause and take notice. An opportunity to tune into the environment and observe the season. Connecting with nature to observe the season as it unfolds.
Capturing Fennel in Autumn as the flowers turn to seeds

July has an abundance of blooms, following June’s rose season. This month the garden has hues of blue from the petals of Borage.
Here are a selection of photographs capturing this flower through the lens. I love the flowers, and spent flower heads, which when captured through the macro lens, illuminates the intricate details of this plant. A magnet for bees and self-seeds.
An abundance of Foxgloves self-sown from last year. A selection of images below.
Foxgloves flowering – a display showcasing their character
May is the time of year when the Nigella flowers open. They are interesting plants from bud, to flower to seed pod. Here are a selection of photographs capturing this flower at the flowering stage… I will document this flower throughout the seasons. The plant is easy to grow and self-seeds, which guarantees an abundance of blooms the following year.
